Advice on non-contentious and contentious matters
In non-contentious matters we work closely with IBB’s leading commercial property, residential development and commercial services teams. This work embraces procurement advice, contract drafting, and general advisory work – we find that early strategic and tactical advice is a very effective way to add value to our clients’ projects.
In contentious matters we have a proven track record of successfully resolving construction and engineering disputes. We employ various methods to achieve the best outcomes for our clients including mediation, adjudication, expert determination, arbitration, and court proceedings (usually in the Technology and Construction Court). When the need arises we work closely with IBB’s highly rated real estate, intellectual property and commercial dispute resolution teams, and we have close working relationships with some of the best construction and engineering barristers practising in the UK today.
